Nice post, Biggus.
Things are going the same way as civvy street. Got a mate who works in Forex and they have parallel cases – women who get a lower bonus than some of the guys because they have performed worse in what is, frankly, a highly competitive and macho environment. All of the toys come out of the pram and the court believes the ‘discrimination’ card almost every time. Everybody in the industry (including the claimant) knows its bollocks but the claim gets paid.
The world has gone mad and I’ve stopped opening doors for women.
